Ingredients
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(60g)
- •Chinese cooking wine (Shaoxing)(60g)
- •Mirin, Sweet Rice Wine(30g)
- •Brown sugar(45g)
- •Vinegar, Rice(15g)
- •Garlic powder(3g)
- •Salmon
- •Sesame Oil, Toasted(15g)
- •1 stem shallot/green onion (sliced to garnish)
- •Broccoli(480g)
- •Zucchini
Instructions
- 1In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sake, mirin, brown sugar, vinegar, and garlic powder until the sugar is fully dissolved. This will be your base for both the marinade and glaze.
- 2Pour half of the marinade into a small saucepan and set it aside for later. Place the salmon fillets into the remaining marinade and coat them well on both sides. Let them sit for about 2 minutes per side to soak up the flavor.
- 3Heat a bit of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon fillets along with any leftover marinade from the bowl. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked to your liking. Transfer the fillets to a plate and keep warm.
- 4While the salmon rests, bring the reserved sauce in the saucepan to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens to a syrupy consistency.
- 5Plate the salmon over steamed vegetables or rice. Drizzle the thickened teriyaki glaze over the top and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.
